About Global College of America
Global College of America (GCA) was built for students who cannot put their lives on hold to study. Many of our learners work full time, live outside the United States, or study in a second language. For them, GCA offers a structured, fully online route to a U.S. degree.
Instead of long semesters with four or five courses at once, GCA teaches in six-week blocks. Students usually take one course per block, finish it, receive a grade, and move on to the next. Eight blocks run each year, so a new student can begin almost any time.
Every course follows the same clear design: six weeks, four video lessons per week, reading notes, practice questions, a glossary, and a weekly quiz. Video lessons carry English captions plus subtitles in 23 other languages, so students can check difficult passages in their own language.
GCA is provisionally licensed by the Arizona State Board for Private Postsecondary Education to offer degree programs in Arizona (License No. NVD-00007).
